Taj Coral Reef Resort & Spa

Thank you for a lovely stay!! We stayed in room 202 on the beach and found the room and beachfront area really beautiful. We were lucky to wake up to the sunrise directly outside our balcony on the beach which was very special. All staff we interacted with were very friendly, warm, attentive and kind. Particularly a staff member we spoke to every morning as he cleaned the beach was really friendly, we had a lovely conversation each day. The staff at breakfast were particularly great to us (Imali, Madu, Trisna, Hussain,Beam, Reehan and Saman). The house reef is incredible, the best I have experienced that you can access direct from the beach - we enjoyed snorkelling everyday and saw an abundance of fish each time, and we had a wonderful dive experience where we were lucky to see turtles, eagle rays, bat fish, sharks, and rays, so that was a very special day for us. We enjoyed being able to walk around the island casually, and immediately felt comfortable and at home. The island felt as beautiful in evening with the lights as it did in the day with the beautiful colours of the sea shining all around. A nice touch was the resident singer at lunch and evenings, her voice was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, particularly the fresh fish, Indian and Maldivian cuisine. The team tried to make requests happen where possible, such as our passion fruit juice for breakfast, which was really appreciated - going above and beyond in service where they could. The feedback for improvement is about the sunset area of the island, it was a shame to not have a comfortable area you could sit and enjoy the sunset, rather looking over a concrete and delivery jetty wasn’t appealing. The beach areas closer to the sunset area sadly didn’t feel as looked after, and you needed rock shoes when walking on the sand. Overall a beautiful and relaxing trip to remember. Thank you for a wonderful week, we’d love to come back one day!
